T is for …
How do you use your †ime, †reasure (i.e., tithing) and †alen† in serving GOD?
We all have unique ways that GOD has called us to serve Him and His people.
I also can continue glorifying GOD as I finish and use my doctoral degree!
Father Bob‘s most recent ✌PTL✌ in his latest greeting to me stands for:
¡Feliz Día de los Santos y Día de los Muertos!

First and foremost, for me, ☼everyday☼, †The Prayer Way† starts with ♥Adoration♥
San Antonio, TX (February 2013)
As a matter of fact, I spend every Thursday morning (my only day off from work out of the week) in my holy hour of obligation at our ♥Adoration♥ †Chapel†, and any other time when I can make a point to pray before the Blessed Sacrament.

Each and every one of my prayers begin with praise, because †GOD† deserves our glory, as we give our ♥LOVE♥ for Him.
San Antonio, TX (April 2014)
How about you join me in devoting even just one hour out of the week to ♥Adoration♥ ~ simply to ♥LOVE♥ our †LORD†? If you have an Adoration Chapel with the Blessed Sacrament, I encourage you to commit to one hour of one day out of the week on a regular basis. Even if you don’t have one, keep adoring Him anywhere and everywhere ~ as I promise you: worship works wonders for your soul.

To ♪The Player Way♫ chorus rhythm of rapper pastor Ma$e …
Everything that I do be all about the ☼LORD†
I’ve been lifting up †prayer† instead of being bored
Getting lifted by my ♥heart♥ and ☼soul☼
I give the world GOD, who has the main role
In my life
So I maintain thrive and strife
In the ☼morning☼, noon, and night, at all times everyday
†The Prayer Way, the Prayer Way†
~ †The Prayer Way†, by Elaine Dispo (Bust a Flow)
I went the extra mile to freestyle from another song to remind us about the importance of leading a prayerful life.

Recently, Bishop Mike sent me a newsletter* with valuable information, including the ACTS acronym that stands for these prayer divisions that appeared on the first page and also in my own Religious Education teachings of loving GOD** and prayer***:
*How to Pray
- ♥Adoration♥ ~ **loving GOD
- †Contrition†
- ♣Thanksgiving♣ ~ **thanking GOD
- ☼Supplication☼ ~ ***petition (**asking GOD for things we need) and ***intercession (**praying for other people)
We’ll review each prayer division individually in the next Thirsty Thursday segments. Meanwhile,
Keep ☼shining☼ * Keep smiling * Keep †praying† * Keep following GOD’s perfect plan!!!

Ever since I started my ministry service at Church, I’ve prayed
Come, Holy Spirit…
And He has guided me through the readings and commentaries at Mass.
This past Pentecost, I especially felt the LORD lead me with strength, as I was moved by the Holy Spirit, during the prayers and hymns that I spoke and sang with our congregation as commentator and cantor.
However, I was told to back off from the mic a bit after. Despite that remark, I received positive reception from other parishioners, who were grateful to hear my clear voice. My dad’s friend and fellow veteran-turned barber, even said my voice was like a bird’s!
So, I’ll keep using my voice as a gift from GOD, to glorify His name. He is worthy of praise.
Happy Father’s Day, especially to the LORD GOD Almighty!
